Pacific Course Plotters Kit

Some readers have asked where they can get the “Pacific Ex plorers’ Kit” described here some months ago. The answer is Dept.

NYT, Pacific Area Travel Assn., 442 Post St., San Francisco 2, Calif., USA; and it costs $7, for handling, postage, etc. The kit consists of six small booklets covering: Food and Drink; What to Take Along; Shops and Marketplaces; Airline and Steam ship Guide; Currency Converter; and Logbook (for the explorer's own experiences). There’s a large National Geographic map of the Pacific; a simplified worksheet map for working out your own itinerary; a 24 page coloured folder describing special festivals and celebrations in Pacific countries; and 16 coloured travel folders from 16 Pacific countries.
